yeah, my scanner sometimes sucks as well. Especially when I want to scan colored pictures, the colors lose their saturation and even photoshop can't help then. Maybe my scanner is too old, it is 10 years old (or even more). ^^

I am trying to find a solution for mine , it has never been like that before O.oWhy the hell does this world go crazy with me ! XD I sometimes when I get rid of mine , I give my drawings to my cousin to scan them with her scanner , it looks way better , but this was for dragons paintings .. My scanner is Epson 660 , I think it's really old now :\
